Greetings A height of 114 cm is on the shorter side for a 7-year-old girl but can still fall within a normal biological growth percentile.Slower growth rates can stem from parental genetics, constitutional delay, or nutritional gaps rather than an underlying medical condition.To evaluate this accurately, a pediatrician needs to review her complete growth chart over time rather than looking at a single measurement.

A height of 114 cm at 7 years of age is below average, but a single height measurement is not enough to diagnose a growth problem. More important is the growth velocity (cm gained per year) and the heights of both parents.
